MTRA is joining the CEP’s Equine Initiative in bringing equine education and fun for the entire family to the Florida Horse Park. Friday offers an Equine Industry Career Expo with demos by a variety professionals in the equine community, and a live breed horse exhibit during the day. Saturday will feature the Annual All-Breed Horse Capital Parade and the Hobby Horse Equestrian Games with ribbons and trophies. The “vendor village,” featured both days, will host local and equine businesses, arts, crafts, local non-profits, food trucks, music, and more. Last year’s events (held separately) drew over 2,500 people, and we expect this year to continue to grow. Proceeds from the events will support the Foundation for CEP and Marion Therapeutic Riding Association. We are grateful for your help and look forward to creating and growing this family-friendly, free fun event in our amazing community and Horse Capital of the World. Please contact Jenna Rovira at development@mtraocala.org and fill out the vendor application if you would like to participate at the event. Vendors may register for one day only or both days at a discounted rate. Also, do tell any other craft creators and businesses you feel may want to participate at this great event.
